Dec. 1-4, more than 1,500 IFB farmer members descend on the Palmer House Hilton in Chicago for the IFB Annual Meeting. While there, members network with other members, industry professionals and staff members, attend events, general sessions and educational talks and set policy for the upcoming year.

Through a variety of programs, Illinois Farm Bureau® helps bring a brighter future to rural America by developing the next generation of agricultural leaders as well as health care professionals. Read about IFB’s programs and how you might be able to get involved.
